Health and safety at work – there’s no compromise.

Did you know that in Australia, most workrelated injuries are caused by body stress, falls, slips, trips, and being hit by moving objects? And that workrelated mental health conditions are on the rise, with time off work in these cases being more than four times longer than for physical injuries?

In Australia, everyone has the right to a healthy and safe workplace, so it’s essential that you’re aware of your responsibilities and obligations as an employer. Whether you’re in charge of a small business or work in a large corporation, health and safety is an area that should always be taken seriously.
